    I’m guessing most Federal workers aren’t stupid enough to believe Trump would actually pay the buyout amount. Especially after Presidential “advisor” Elon failed to pay Twitter severance.

        Anyone with a conscience is going to be purged anyway. Either that, or they’ll be asked to do unforgiveable things. Better to just take the cash and leave with your soul intact.

          It’s not going to be much cash. Certainly not enough to escape. And, souls don’t remain intact when you sell out to the devil.

        Sometimes when things are going to go bad no matter what happens, it’s better to just speed it up rather than draw it out.

    They are going to be stuck rehiring people that resign as consultants because they won’t have the people to run the legally required programs in place.

    It will end up costing more money for the government.

    I have little hope that the people that actually vote will even remember how fucked all this is two years from now.

      They’ll require that consultants are hired through a company owned by a Trump subsidiary and pocket a percentage of the pay.

    Putin’s (very) useful idiot is now in the process of completing his work destroying the US federal government. Hope state governments can pick up the slack, because they’ll have to.
